“You fill my life with so much love and joy,” Kingsley whispers. “I never thought Christmas would be my favorite time of year.”
I smile and press a kiss to his chest before leaning back slightly and looking up into his kind brown eyes that have been my safe place for so long now. “You just needed someone to show you how to celebrate the right way,” I reply, grinning up at him.
My husband bends down and trails kisses up my neck before brushing his lips against the shell of my ear.
“I neededyou, my sweet Clementine. Love you so much.”
“Love you, too,” I murmur, parting my lips to welcome his kiss. Kingsley gently presses his mouth to mine, sipping from me before sweeping his tongue inside and gliding it against mine. His kiss is slow, deep, and grounding.
We only come up for air when we’re showered with snow, both of our kids breaking us apart groans and gagging noises.
I laugh while Kingsley chuckles and laces his fingers through mine. “I’m thinking a blue spruce,” he announces as he continues walking through the snow-covered rows of trees.
“You always want a blue spruce,” Derek complains.
“How about a noble fir?” I suggest.
“Yes!” Derek whoops, doing a jump-spin into a pile of snow.
“Yeah!” Karla enthusiastically agrees.
“Looks like you saved the day once again,” my husband says to me, squeezing my hand.
“I guess you’ll just have to thank me later,” I tell him, lifting an eyebrow suggestively.
Kingsley groans, making me laugh.
“You’re perfect for me, Clementine,” he says, the warmth in his voice filling me up and drawing out a cheesy smile.
“And you’re perfect for me.”
“Are you guys going to kiss again?” Derek whines.
Kingsley wags his eyebrows while I swat at his chest playfully. “Not right now,” I say, never breaking eye contact with my husband. He pouts, which is adorable.
“You better not pout, I’m tellin’ you whyyyy!” Karla sing-songs.
“Love my family,” Kingsley says, scooping up our little girl. She hugs his neck and smiles at him like he’s the greatest man in the world. He really is.
“And we love you,” I tell him, looping my arm through his. It’s going to be another amazing Christmas, all thanks to my husband and beautiful family.
